You disagree with the idea that people have latched onto Geno because they're desperate?

I certainly disagree with that.

I mean, yeah, I'm sure some have. Not everyone has the time or the desire to study college players. But I think most of the people talking about him in "the thread" are talking about him because they believe he's good, and not just because they want a QB.

Ditto for the Wilson thread.

There's some good QBs in this draft. Just like virtually every other year. I have no idea where the perception that there are not has come from, although I suspect it's because all of the top ones (including Barkley, too) all lost a number of games. And as we all know, losing games means you must not be any good. Since it's not like football's a team game.

And that's just teams with "need." It doesn't take into account any teams with good but aging or declining QBs (New Orleans @15, San Diego @11, Denver @28) or that Baltimore might lose Flacco in FA and Houston might nab a young, high-upside guy to push Schaub.

To suggest that no Qbs are worth a first-round grade or that only 1-2 will go in the first round is just silly and disregards reality.

I think that we should all feel honored that without ANY Due Diligence on your part (Wonderlic, psychological testing, Pro Day workout, Combine work out) that YOU have decided that Geno Smith is unequivocally the best prospect in the 2013 draft.

Hell, the Chiefs should just close up shop. The pick is in!

WTF are you even talking about?

You just seem hell bent on trying to start shit with me, its kinda funny that for whatever reason you seem to have latched onto me and try to argue for the sake of arguing.

I asked a simple question. To identify the positive characteristics you look for in a QB. I don't know that Geno will be the guy, I do know that it needs to be a QB, because no other position on this team will improve it as much as good QB play will.

Thats one team I hadn't really thought of.

If one of these guys start falling, Houston might just say hell with it and take one ala Rodgers in GB.

You're certainly welcome to disagree. Disagreeing doesn't make you stupid.

A concept RunKC hasn't figured out yet. Because, you know, he thinks that everybody who wants Geno is just an idiot who hasn't, like, watched him play 20+ games over three years, and read all kinds of commentary on him, and has been talking about him for months and even years. Nope. RunKC says the "NFL Scouts" he has imaginary conversations with tell him Geno Smith isn't a good QB, and anybody who disagrees is just dumb.

Well and see, that's the difference: I respect your opinion and Htismaque's (JFC, I hate spelling your user name, P!) and SNR's. You guys have done your homework, made a decision and are sticking to it.
